Jimmy on my mind felt like yesterday
But I don't see him anymore, anymore
Jimmy he got tired so he couldn't stay
Now I don't see him anymore, now I got
Jimmy on my mind feels like yesterday
But I don't see him anymore, anymore
Jimmy he got tired but he couldn't stay
Now I don't see him anymore, anymore
Nah nah, no no

Nah nah nah ah
I don't see him anymore
